Safety Guidelines

This manual contains notices you have to observe in order to ensure your personal safety, as well as to prevent

damage to property. The notices referring to your personal safety are highlighted in the manual by a safety alert

symbol, notices referring only to property damage have no safety alert symbol. These notices shown below are

graded according to the degree of danger.

Danger

indicates that death or severe personal injury will result if proper precautions are not taken.

Warning

indicates that death or severe personal injury may result if proper precautions are not taken.

Caution

with a safety alert symbol, indicates that minor personal injury can result if proper precautions are not taken.

Caution

without a safety alert symbol, indicates that property damage can result if proper precautions are not taken.

Notice

indicates that an unintended result or situation can occur if the corresponding information is not taken into

account.

If more than one degree of danger is present, the warning notice representing the highest degree of danger will

be used. A notice warning of injury to persons with a safety alert symbol may also include a warning relating to

property damage.

System expansions

Only install system expansion devices designed for this device. The installation of other

expansions can damage the system and violate the radio-interference suppression

regulations. Contact your technical support team or where you purchased your PC to find out

which system expansion devices may safely be installed.

Caution

If you install or exchange system expansions and damage your device, the warranty

becomes void.

Battery

This device is equipped with a Lithium battery. Batteries may only be replaced by qualified

personnel.

ESD guidelines

Modules containing electrostatic sensitive devices (ESDs) can be identified by the following

label:

Strictly follow the guidelines mentioned below when handling modules which are sensitive to

ESD:

• Always discharge your body´s static electricity before handling modules which are

sensitive to ESD (for example, by touching a grounded object).

• All devices and tools must be free of static charge.

• Always pull the mains connector and disconnect the battery before you install or remove

modules which are sensitive to ESD.

• Handle modules fitted with ESDs by their edges only.

• Do not touch any wiring posts or conductors on modules containing ESDs.

Warning

Following the results of a risk analysis, additional protection equipment on the machine or

the system is necessary to avoid endangering persons. With this, especially the

programming, configuration and wiring of the inserted I/O modules have to be executed, in

accordance with the safety performance (SIL, PL or Cat.) identified by the necessary risk

analysis. The intended use of the device has to be ensured.

The proper use of the device has to be verified with a function test on the system. This test

can detect programming, configuration and wiring errors. The test results have to be

documented and, if necessary, entered into the relevant documents that verify safety.

Caution

Condensation

When transporting the device in low temperatures, ensure that no moisture gets on or into

the device. This also applies if the device is subjected to extreme changes in temperature.

Commissioning

Allow the device to slowly adjust to room temperature before commissioning the device. Do

no place the device near direct heat radiation. If moisture condensation occurs, wait at least

about 12 hours before you switch on the device.

Vibration

DVD drives are sensitive to vibration. Prohibited vibration during operation may result in loss

of data or damage to the drive or data medium.

Before transporting the device, wait at least 20 seconds to allow the drive to stop completely.

Tools & downloads

Please check regularly whether updates and hotfixes are available for download to your

device.

Downloads are available on the Internet at "http://www.siemens.com/asis

" under "Support".

Click on "Tools & Demosoftware" on "Overview Panel PCs". Using the global search

function, you can then also search for any downloads you require.

Processor and CD-ROM drive

Caution

Safety-relevant applications

Warning

Maloperation

Do not perform safety-relevant functions of the user software with the touch screen.

Chemical resistance

Caution

Adhere to the information regarding chemical resistance. Please refer to the "Tools &

Demosoftware" Internet site for more information. Enter "Chemical resistance" as the search

term. The available articles are displayed.

Sources of light

Notice

Position the screen so that it is not subject to direct sunlight or other strong sources of light.

Defective pixels in the display

At present, the manufacturing process of modern displays does not guarantee that all pixels

of the display will be perfect. A small number of defective pixels in the display is therefore

unavoidable. This does not present a functional problem as long as the defective pixels are

not bunched in one location.

Refer to the "Technical data" section for more information.

Burn-in effect on TFT displays

A permanent picture with bright images can lead to a burn-in effect on the TFT LCD.

If a screen saver is activated, please observe the following:

• The liquid crystals in screen savers which actuate active black when the backlighting is

on, e.g. flying stars "starfield simulation," renew themselves. Pay attention to the length of

time the backlighting is activated.

• The following applies to screen savers which turn off the backlighting: Each time the

backlighting is turned on, its life is reduced by 50 minutes.

Consider the following carefully:

• Screensaver

• Switch off the backlighting regularly

• Permanent display of the customer application
